Spider Legs
With brittle bones and broken soul
She weaved her tangled web
A pound or two she wished to lose
She lost herself instead
Ignores all helping hands she does
The voices in her head
Make her choose not to consume
They starve ‘til hearts are fed
He tried to run away but he
Could not run from himself
He couldn't seem to lose enough
To come down from their shelf
They'd stay away for one more day
If his soul he did sell
To the only thing he had in life
He tried to make it proud
Weave your home miss spider legs
Mask these screams for help
Starve away this monster that I see inside myself
I once let go, you kept a hold
Just one more day I have control
Weave my tangled web
With brittle bones and broken soul
